For those of you looking for good deals in the anime world right now, look no further than Bandai Entertainment and their Anime Legends line of DVDs. For they are releasing the original Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy on DVD for $40. This will be a sub only release and due to hit store shelves May 18th.
For those of you who don’t know, after the original Gundam television show was broadcast on television, they decided to release three movies that summarized the entire series; a practice started by this trilogy. The reason why they did this is because many people only caught the last half of the television series, because when the show first aired it was seen as a flop.
For those of you who want to watch the original show, and don’t know whether or not to watch the movies or the television show, watch the movies. They cut away a lot of the filler, a lot of the badly animated segments, and made it more “real robot” like. 441 minutes of entertainment for $40 is not a bad deal at all.
On a side note, Bandai Entertainment also announced that Code Geass R2 Part 4 will be pushed back to 4/6/2010, along with Gundam 00 Season 2 Part 1.
